What's a Westlaw Webinar? A Westlaw Webinar combines verbal instruction with online demonstration to offer you a complete learning experience. As your ears take in an instructor's words via telephone conference call, your computer screen lets you see a demonstration of each Westlaw feature the instructor is describing, the movement of the instructor's cursor around the features, and any other graphics the instructor chooses to provide.
